Making Thinking Visible is a practical, ready-to-use playbook that shows K–12 educators how to create anchor charts and strategy walls that actually impact learning. Designed for busy teachers, this guide gives you a plug-and-play system to build, post, and use live charts that reinforce key skills, vocabulary, and steps—without adding to your prep load.
Inside, you’ll get:
A 3-step system for building and using anchor charts that students refer to daily
A plug-and-play chart template with clear examples across subjects
Strategy wall setup tips that reduce clutter and maximize clarity
Subject-specific chart ideas for ELA, Math, Science, and more
A simple rotation routine to keep your wall fresh and effective
Phrases to model, prompt, and reinforce strategy use every daySupports for multilingual learners and students who struggle with recall or executive functioning
This is more than a teacher trick—it’s a visibility strategy. When students can see the steps, they’re far more likely to remember, apply, and own them.
